Description:
Specifying requirements in a way that truthfully translate the user needs is not a trivial task. In order to facilitate the creation of eHealth that matters, this article presents a practical, multidisciplinary requirements development approach which is embedded in a holistic design approach for eHealth that incorporates both human-centered design and business modeling.
Overview:
To build an eHealth environment, it is necessary to establish criteria, considering the user's experience and needs. This is also useful from the perspective of having to evaluate the effectiveness of eHealth
Objectives:
Presenting an approach to requirements development for the creation of eHealth that incorporates both human-centred design and business modelling
Initiatives:
The requirements development approach enables eHealth developers to apply a systematic and multi-disciplinary approach towards the creation of requirements. The cooperation between health, engineering, and social sciences creates a situation in which a mismatch between design, end users, and the organizational context can be avoided.
Shortcomings:
Consulting end-users and stakeholders and making their voice and interests the main focus of the eHealth intervention to be developed, means limiting creativity. This is because end-users do not necessarily have new ideas in mind that could improve the state of the art but might only refer to technologies that are already there
Relevance:

Relevance Description:
It can be fundamental because it provides methods of co-creation, putting the needs of users and the resources provided by stakeholders at the centre
Quality:
4
Opinion:
This article is excellent for setting a plan of action in the creation of a digital environment, considering the centrality of the end user in the creation process and its needs.
